Zaza Pachulia says hard foul on Russell Westbrook was ‘payback’

MIAMI — During a radio interview Monday, Warriors center Zaza Pachulia explained why he stood over Russell Westbrook after a hard foul on the Oklahoma City guard last week. "I didn't mention where everything started, and maybe that's my fault not to make it clear that I didn't start that conversation or incident on the court," Pachulia said on KNBR's Murph & Mac. Like I said, a lot of people didn't know that. After a lengthy review by officials, he was assessed a Flagrant 1. Asked after the game for his reaction to Westbrook's comments, Pachulia told reporters he wasn't concerned. "We're thinking about this team and staying healthy moving forward and, better, getting into the playoffs and playing for the championship," Pachulia said.
